Because European "special forces" aren't cringe morons like they'd be in US.
Quick response is their main concern, not standing around while a school gets shot up, so they just put gear on whatever they were wearing at the moment, which is usually jeans, as that's what normal people wear, not some moronic "greyman" getup.
Are you actually moronic?
why do "people" like you always do this? you reply with some dumb shit like "hurr u moronic" but are utterly incapable of articulating your points or how he's wrong.
saying "u dumb" isn't an argument
Why would I argue with a moron? Might as well try to convince my 4 year old cousin that Santa isn’t real.
You didn't actually say anything.
>Are you actually moronic?
Nope. Unlike US cops, Eurocops go the frick in the second there's a chance: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xh8Y6wVC0bY
Hey dumbshit, there are almost 18,000 police agencies in the US. Where i'm at, a cop took a shot in the chest after kicking down a door breaking up a domestic battery. He still was able to return fire and kill the perp.
Thank God he had has tactical pants on. It could have been much worse.
why do they all happen to be wearing blue jeans though?
Most people here wear blue jeans. And is a pretty functional attire just in case you get activated.
it's the most common casual pants you can wear in public without anyone thinking you're under- or overdressed
are you by any chance one of those g(r)aymanspergs?
blue jeans + t shirt is the most normie shit you could wear
The duality of man
this
t. literally moronic
Jeans are a symbol of America, made for Americans that worked in the mines. They represent American ruggedness, freedom and manhood. The men of other countries wear them in the hopes of emulating that.
Ironically, Americans just see them as durably daily wear and admit that a heavy canvas pant both limits mobility and holds moisture making them ill suited for any kind of strenuous exercise or even long hikes where you could be sweating for an extended time. Because of this outdoors clothing and tactical clothing in the US has largely ditched blue jeans in favor of synthetic materials with different cuts.
It's nice that people from around the world enjoy wearing them. I wear them around town myself sometimes.
>Jeans are a symbol of America
imagine being this circumcised
have you ever even left the US?
You are unironically the type of ignorant mutt who thinks of Arkansas or Kentucky when he hears the city of London
You might have made them but we made them famous, and it’s funny how much that hurts you.
>t.
Yeah and fries are from belgium and burgers are from germany but America pimped that shit out to the rest of the world at a premium too shut your mouth eurotrash
This post has to be bait. but then again you never know with Americans
Imagine being a thirdie. Must be hard for you.
Das rite!
Funny since most of the guys in that pic are wearing jeans literally called "Grayman" (by Helikon-Tex).
They're actually quite nice pants with hidden pockets for magazines and shit. You can stick a couple pistol and AR mags in the inside of the waistband.
That is not correct. Just one wears something that looks like they could be those but most of them wear don't, which you can easily see due to seams and arrangement of pockets. I don't think they come in any of those shades either, "Grayman" jeans are mostly really fricking dark.
This doesn't mean they don't wear some form of meme tactical jeans but looking at how loose and normal looking those are I'd wager it's just random ass jeans from random ass clothing shop.
Because europe is a continent of effeminate homosexuals whose only crime is refugees of peace going on spontaneous diversification episodes, they can wear objectively unsuitable fashion clothes
>NOoOoOo!!!
>You can't just oOoOoperate without tacticool pants!!!

Lol. Lmao.
>never jogged in denim
Touch grass
have you ever seen swat jog? all they do is stand around and point their guns at lunatics
*at people trying to break the police line to get in to do the cops' actual job for them
>Why do European special forces wear jeans?
those are cops and special police units
>those forces are special units not special forces
homosexual
>t. Pig who thinks he isn't a civilian
If you're not a civilian then you should be subject to military justice and international law.
European police officers aren’t civilians. They are bound by European Convention on Human Rights.
In fact in many european countries there are civilian cops and cops that are military. The latter are members or EUROGENDFOR, and for example get to he deployed abroad in military missions. There were Carabinieri and Guardia Civil in Irak for example.
>All SWAT teams are special forces
This is why you get paid the big bucks
What? You a delusional pig?
>Those girl jean wear patterns
Lmao is it suppose to look like you wore your ass down riding wiener all day? Make zero sense.
>t. gets his jeans at sears
Probably something like pic rel. Probably to protect against knife attacks.
I don't know why not all men's pant's don't come with crotch gussets.
Wen't Duluth BallRoom Jeans and Chinos...never wen't back.
>Schools: Send for wholesale information
what fricking principal was ordering lots of chuck jeans and for what purpose?
PE
School means dojo
A gusseted crotch is the most underrated feature in men's clothing. I was unaware Duluth were built that way, will swing by and pick some up when the opportunity arises, thank you.
It's the biggest reason I don't wear them. If I feel like I'm about to blow out the stitching around my taint whenever I go into a deep squat, the clothing is worthless trash to me.
Because they don't have any style.
Do they have grace?
Well their faces don't appear to be that funny.
You can get climbing jeans. Super comfy and obviously extremely stretchy.
Damn I didn't know. That's cool as shit.
American who lived in Europe for a while here, what gets sold as jeans in the US is heavy 100% cotton material that you can work in, basically work clothes that ended up as everyday wear, however in Europe most of the jeans you see are a much thinner material with some stretch to it. Less durable, but really comfortable, but not really jeans anymore.
You can get jeans like that in the US too. I bought some a few years back when I had to spend a summer in Japan and wanted something that'd be comfier in the heat and humidity but wouldn't look super touristy.
>can
Frick me like 90% of the jeans on the rack are the stretchy bullshit. While comfortable I prefer my Wranglers when they're not 70 fricking dollars.
I wish I could wear Wranglers, low waists run in my family so the high Wrangler waists just end up falling down for me.
Squats boyo, your ass is your belt. The belt exists to hold your NAA mini revolver buckle or something equally ostentatious.
Doesn't help, my ass just doesn't come up that high. The only way I could really wear Wranglers is if I went full cowboy LARP with suspenders.
where are you buying wranglers that are 70$?
Pretty much any "western"/boot store gets around that after tax. Nobody likes the cowboy 13s so they go on discount pretty regular for the savvy spender.
huh i can get low waisted ones at walmart for 20$ and cowboy cuts at tsc for like 30-40$
There's different styles. I like them thick, not stretchy, and dark washed. I've rarely found those for less than $30 at big box stores.
the ones i buy at walmart are the thick kind and i just bought some dark blue ones last week
Wranglers? I might have to stop by the Walton Projects then.
yeah im certain they were
theyre all i wear anymore
>Less durable
Much less durable against abrasion sure, but the crotch seam lasta a lot longer due to the stretch in the fabric.
It sounds like I would prefer EU style jeans over American ones. It sounds like I could actually squat in them without tearing denim or cutting off circulation to my legs and balls. Most Americans are immobile fatties who don't care about athleticism, so they don't mind such restrictive clothing.
There are thick 100% cotton jeans in Europe, too. Very few people buy them simply because you need to take them fairly baggy if you want decent mobility, and it looks like ass. Hence why Europeans say Americans don't know how to dress.
The only 100% cotton jeans I saw were Levi’s in the mall for way too much money. I think it’s less of a style thing and more of a cost thing.
fire hose pants.
Is this gay slang?
No. It's heavy duty cotton canvas...which is used on firehoses, traditionally.
Tough as heck though a bit rough.
Because they were "off duty" when they got called in for an emergency you brain dead morons. Jeans are not their uniform anymore than the fricking sneakers and t-shirts
How are your spec ops all off duty in such a situation?
Isn't this the top tier? How does this work? You finish your training and then if no hostage situation breaks out you have enough free time to not have a team ready 24/7?
They have team on duty with cars and gear stored, these teams rush to scene and call reinforcements of off duty special units members to get more bodies for team, these rush to site themselves and put on gear in the field.
You know on average people spend only 1/4 of their time at work. So if you call at random time all special unit members 3/4 of them would be off duty.
Addition
These special units members have "normal police work" as their everyday duty, these units assemble ad hoc for calls .
They're normal cops who get extra gear and training unless they belong to an actually special group. SWAT teams are the same way. Stop being moronic.
those are "quick response" cops. when they get notice on their pagers they rush to the scene and throw on their gear. they don't waste time changing their clothes.
And they all wear jeans like fricking npc's
Not everyone can wear anime sweatpants like you all day. gay.
You guys wear mutt invented blue jeans because you are literally ten years behind them on anything.
How dare I prefer wearing tough cotton pants to work in instead of skirts.
Im American you homosexual, go wash your balls and get a job Black person.
this objectively false, europe is 4 years ahead and japan/korea is 8 years ahead in terms of fashion
Why are all Korean and Japanese idols wearing western style suits and shoes
Do 'people' in your shithole even wear pants?
A large portion of their job is to do surveillance. Of course they dress like average Joe Shmoe.
tight pants for tight groupings
This is what happens when you live online 24/7/365, your brain goes to mush and you start saying shit like this
>muh jeans is NPC
Should they wear skirts and rainbow colored kawaii knee highs like you?
literally kys, anime homosexual.
To wind up all the tacticool twats who want to waste their money on branded clothing they can show off at their monthly daibetes support group meetings.
Combine jeans with one of those denim plate carriers/chest rigs for sneedcore operator aesthetics.
I have not owned a single pair of jeans for over tean years, and I couldn't be happier.
That is so interesting. Tell us more.
Denim is the devil's cloth. My quality of life massively increased after I expunged its tainted influences from my domicile, and I recommend everyone willing to listen to do the same. In fact all cotton clothing fails to meet my high expectations for which I cover myself. My 100% polyester underwear and undershirts are extremely operator and eczema friendly.
*laughs in skin debridement*
Synthetics are the devil. Except for nomex, that stuff is amazing.
t. Former firefighter
I am aware, but that is a risk I am willing to take.
Lol imagine being so dilusional to think camo pants and combat boots are the only viable option for SWAT. Not every inner city in europe is a subhuman warzone nor do we fetishize fighting wars by larping in your own streets as a 'soldier'.
My man did you not notice the giant shootout helmets and bulletproof vests?
yes but why the frick would you need combat boots and pants aside from larping, if anything joggers (pun intended) are more viable in an urban environment than combat boots
those serve a purpose though
I'm actually wearing blue jeans right now
opdat wij niet vergeten neksteek chickie 🙁
>meanwhile, in inner-city Europe
Why are Europeans so gay?
They thought the Greeks were gay so they wanted to follow suite, but they realized too late that the Greeks hated gays.
As a yuropoor LEO, this threads always make me first chuckle, and secon think about how diferent is everything in the US and how people there doesnt seem to realiza how they are the exception and not the norm among western countries.
It is pretty normal for "SWAT" units (which are not AT ALL what a american would think, and we dont call in general nothing close to "SWAT") over here to be in an "alert" state just home or at less than whatever minutes from base, or their designated respondabilitie area, so if they get a call they go to the place or the event or to their base as fast as they can and dont lose time suiting up.
You seem to fail to understand that in some countries there are so FEW incidents a year, and that european countries are so SMALL, that there might be only a couple teams in "alert" FOR THE ENTIRE COUNTRY, and would fly to the incident etc. There can be YEARS in which they are NOT ACTIVATED A SINGLE TIME.
Sorry for the typos, im just casually typing on my phone while i do other stuff.
Every Bundesland has it's own SEKs. Also please stop speaking like an aids homosexual even if you are one.
Ill pass the disrecoect and just day that i though it was clear i was speaking in general about EU countries, not just Hansland, always forget the asperger level here. My country also has several regional teams "on" all the time.
For example, Belgium has one agency that's responsible for tactical operations (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federal_Police_Special_Units). The main intervention unit is stationed in Brussels and they simply drive to wherever in the country a hostage/siege situation is happening.
My particular "agency" has various "tiers" of intervention units. Of the Tier 1 we usually have 2 teams that are at their bases or close (working) one in the north and the south of the country. Other "Tier 0" team is at the capital.
Of what you could consider Tier 2 we have seven teams that could be working or at home but "alert", and of the Tier 3 (pretty lame but better than nothing, i wouldnt consider them "swat" tho) we have close to 50 teams in a similar alert status to Tier 2.
We do have a few other "teams" in the country. But those are just local police with some extra training and gear that perform regular duties but that can be used for situations that take a bit more umpf. Comparable to small town swat without the hand me downs from the army or Iraq/stan veterans or "vets" with mental issues.
I refuse to wear anything I couldn't run a few miles in, and that includes jeans.

same reason seals did in vietnam
theyre comfy
Also denim is pretty silent, unlike most sinthetic shit.
Varusteleka has a denim line I'm interested in trying.
It's not so much that they wear jeans as much as it is they wear whatever they were wearing when they were called, because if these guys are called in then we're already out of time to spare.
Pic related, guy with the Nike drip is from the Dutch DSI.
>Unbothered. Moisturized. Happy. In My Lane. Focused. Flourishing.
You a funny homie
casual clothes with tac gear is very aesthetic
it's funny how you can almost always tell when it's genuine versus when someone is trying to intentionally evoke it
Just this. Also, Spain pic.
Different kit, for a planified arrest.
If I pushed him over, I am confident he would not be able to stand back up.
Why? The only heavy stuff is body armor.
nice wienerring
Old pic with the King
wtf are those mp5 stocks? never seen anything like them before
They're designed to be used with body armor and those ballistic helmets.
Stocks designed for use together with faceshields, the G36 has a funny looking one as well
yeah
Sig makes/made one for the MPX/MCX, too
Euros are obsessed with faceshields so they'd rather have gimped stocks. Even francophile Japs don't want to copy that autism
I think the big idea is that while in US it's very likely that a SWAT team could get a third eye'd by a full size rifle in EU the worst they might face is an underpowered 9mm JHP.
that Juan Carlos?
No, pre-beard Felipe
I need a jacket in that shade of blue, muh dikk.
> my pants are way too tight
> why must this gear be so heavy
> my feet hurt
this
The Netherlands also has military police in the form of the Royal Marechaussee. These guys get deployed even less, last time was with the second round of curfew riots in Rotterdam where pic related comes from.
Came here to post this dude
imagine getting killed by a frickboi who isn't even wearing grown up pants.
big L for muzzies
300 dollar crye pant gear queers btfo'd!
Euros don't wear jeans.
What the frick? How is their police not trying to hide in desert tan camo?
So what you're saying blue jeans and ultra boosts/ vans mte is the true patrician load out for the modern larperator
Yes. Urbangays need to always be ready to crawl through half a mile of mud, even when they haven't visited the dilapidated city park in over a decade.
You can't crawl through muddy concrete or pavement for more than a mile in even the thickest duck canvas or selvedge denim bro I ate through 501's crawling in a drain for less than a block
>Special Forces
>Literally says "Polizei"
99% those are Dutch Cops, basically their version of jumpout boys. They're basically on call in their normal day to day with their gear in their car or close at hand. So if the call come up they grab their go bag and go, hence the jeans and street shoes. Still way more based than most US cops
>Polizie
>Dutch
Je wat makker, in het Nederlands is het politie.
Even the number plate in the background is german with the D of Deuchland (umber alles)
Nope, look at the helmets. Those are
>Germ*ns
Though you are right about the rest. A lot of them are just on call or even off duty when they get called in to action
Because the ones in your picture were called in in emergency. They grab their gear and rush to where they're needed. Then you have pic related, which is how SWAT wear when doing a planned operation.
It's because the guys in that particular case were called up quick and didn't have time/didn't waste the time to put on their uniforms except their protective gear. I believe it was an active shooter situation in Bäumenheim. A (former) police man gone mad shooting around.
Polar 92s are the best jeans
Sick jeans bruh, have you seen the latest episode of Saved By the Bell? Screech is so hilarious.
jeans look good, are practical and you can get them everywhere
i wish i could wear them but i've only found a single pair of comfortable jeans in my entire life and they were women's jeans in a tiny size
t. autist who can't wear anything coarse, rough or tight
Obviously it's some gay ops muh optics and sheeeeit
You realize those are european narcos right?
During the attack in Utrecht (which was only a 100 meters from where I live) I couldn't believe how many fricking glowies we have in this country. Made me feel safe though.
lots and lots of seals wore jeans in nam as personal preference to trousers
>Brad sitting around at office doing paperwork
>Tony going to the warehouse to sign for a new shipment of helmets for the unit
>Roger had to leave the office to pick up his wife from her dentist's appointment
>they all get called by command telling them they're needed for a rapid response
SOF does a lot of cool shit, but there's still going to be downtime in between training or mundane office work where they won't necessarily be in uniforms but will still need to be ready to be called for response
It's because they aren't a serious fighting force.
